Well two days running me breakfast has been chilli beans on toast with a slice of bread and butter, well this morning I used the new chilli sauce my sis gave me for Christmas, big mistake, after my first mouthful I instantly had a combination of sensory problems, firstly I had tinnitus followed by partial blindness a runny nose and watering eyes, then while these started to reduce in strength I had what can only be described as a tsunami of white hot incandescent pain, after several swigs of fruit juice the pain only increased to the point where I thought I could feel my teeth melting.
The up side was after a few minutes my senses went off line and the pain turned into a feeling akin to having your mouth injected with Novocaine, so with this little bit of good news I managed to eat the lot, thing is now as I sit here it’s been nearly an hour and I am detecting signals that my stomach could well be developing 3rd degree burns!, I am now going to put several toilet rolls in the fridge in readiness for it’s final journey some time later!.

Hi Ange oh she's OK really I am known for my love of the little hot buggers but this time this sauce is a right mental one she found it while on holiday and it does exactly what is says on the tin!, the only other time I have had chilli that hot was last year when I grew some Dorset Naga's. :roll:0 -
Oh dear!!!!!!.....
What a shame......
How sad.........
Never mind.........
I feel so sorry for you......................

the title thread did make me think at first this is a toilet type thread..but then thought narr it will be something like a circus show..although hopes were high when i saw who had written it!
Apart from plenty of very soft toilet roll you may need some cream e.g. nappy cream. Better not leave the house today. Have you any yoghurts or rennies etc....
I dont have curry on a work night!0 -
Hi oneday my throat and tum are still glowing even now, it's lovely and warm, it's the best part of chillies for me.
It's odd but there was a program on radio 4 the other week talking to the Dorset Chilli farm and they said that the bigest majority of people the do business with are middle aged men, they call them chilli heads, I can't speak for anyone else on here but I really love them cook with them at least 3 times a week, normally though not like today!.
Although I'm not a great cook I do tend to do the majority of cooking at home, I was watching a program with dear old keith Floyd the other week and he said the 3 things you should alway's have in any kitchen were a good olive oil garlic and chilli, red wins was optional!, (well not with him) I must say I agree 100% with the dear old bugger on that.0 -
Hi Mell
I know how much you like lyrics, so here's one for you today:
I Fell Into A Burning Ring Of Fire
I Went Down, Down, Down
And The Flames Went Higher
And It Burns, Burns, Burns
The Ring Of Fire
The Ring Of Fire
Hope you don't look like this!!

For some reason, joanlawson, I picture you as a very proper and sedate lady, rather like Miss Marple or a beloved maiden aunt - I'm obviously way off beam with that idea! You surprise me and you do make me laugh.
Chillies tho - well, mellman, I'm with you. I love them, but I find that with increasing age I can no longer face the joy/purgatory of a phal. Baked beans are (as a matter of course) topped up with hot paprika, chilli powder and a squirt of tomato puree. Cayenne pepper goes on my cheese on toast, and that or powder is routinely added to soups of the minestrone/vegetable variety. The Husband loathes the heat: I say if you're not crying and sweating at the end of your curry/chilli then it wasn't worth eating. I have to produce two versions of those meals!

Proper and sedate :?: :?: :shock: :shock: :shock:
How wrong can you get :?: :?: :?:0 -
Obviously, very! I am so sorry if I offended you in any way. How do I appear to you? DDHave you got the despatches? No, I always walk like this. Eddie Braben0

I too see Joan like a Miss Marple or womens institute type person, i am wrong too.
DD - i see you as a punky sort off girl, maybe a nose stud, purple hair,outspoken but fair...so that must mean you look like Miss Marple instead?!
as for mellman....!
can you peeps supply suggestions for all these cooking items as i might try some e.g. cayeene pepper, can you add that to mayonnaise and say have with prawns like paprika etc....
ideas please...where to add these spicy things and i might go out and buy some.0 -
Cayenne pepper is finely ground chillies - it has a real kick, I believe it can be added to a Bloody Mary for that reason. Hot paprika (again related to chilli) is harder to find but ordinary paprika is everywhere. These and a whole host more can be found in the spice section of a larger supermarket, or, for better value, try an Indian supermarket. I get the majority of our spices from them as they are far cheaper than Schwartz. I don't bother with saffron tho - ludicrously expensive just to turn something yellow, turmeric does just as well.
As to my appearance, well, you're wide of the mark Only. Tall, fat and blonde is an apt description - hourglass figure tho despite the bulk. Short curly hair, all my own natural colour. Always fancied blue, but not enough of a rebel. DDHave you got the despatches? No, I always walk like this. Eddie Braben0 -

Hi DD and Oneday
Is this how you see me??
Don't worry DD, I'm not offended in the slightest! I just think it is funny because you are so wide of the mark. I'm more like this:
Sorry to hijack your thread, Mell, but I couldn't let that one go unanswered!!

Next time your knees flare, make a paste of the chillies and rub on!

Rehab has not gone Mell, he is resting and will be back with us again soon.
When you burn your mouth again with Chillies drink milk and it stops the burning. it neutralizes it.

You are welcome, Joan.............and you are right. It's just as well both my daughters share my sense of humour, at least I don't embarrass them!
